Re: Ostheer

Release the Ostheer without Animations. Just have random static tanks rolling around, with motionless infantry with there arms sideways going at it ;D
The Russians think there sooo tough, wait till the Ostheer comes...

Re: Ostheer

Speaking of which, would you guys be able to fix that bug where infantry assume the default animation (and i think skinning) stance?

That's just because of the harsh Russian winters man  ;D

I'd really like to see the Ostheer as almost balanced faction, unlike the Sovs ind EF 1.0.. Take your time.

frankly, to balance SU and Ostheer completely, US, Brits, PE and Wehr ought to be removed. The very first CoH, without PE and Tommies was very balanced.

To be frank, 1.XX balance was horrible, especially up to like 1.6 or so (1.71 was the last patch before OF IIRC). People just *think* when looking back, that is was balanced. You remember the fun stuff right? Not your balance concerns*.

*does not apply to EF 1.00!

Re: Ostheer

Infact it was almost the same.

Same MG, Sniper, Main Inf, buildings, 2 Super tanks.

I think what Relic tried to do is try not to make another US or Wher fraction, but to shake things up. In a way they failed.

Such is the nature of having so many factions (without going Age Of Empires-style) i'm afraid. Americans and Wehrmacht were pretty good, but the Axis was still a little overpowered then. Then adding Panzer Elite (very good and versatile infantry and vehicles) and British (yeah...) only widened the gap. :'( Maybe we should make Ostheer dreadfully underpowered to compensate. ;D

When Ostheer will be released no one here will play more with Relic factions.

Nah I'd still play all factions. They're all unique and I get bored of playing the same faction any longer than 10 games in a row.

Re: Ostheer

I also thought of what will happen when Ostheer is released. In a teamgame, let's say a classical 2v2, the Axis side would go down because both players would most likely be like "who Ostheer is out I wanna try it first" and noone would play Wehr or PE in the first few hours. At least in my imagination  :P

Re: Ostheer

Well, that sounds better..  :P
But my first game will be PvP, because of the fun you have, playing together with/against other people, especially other community members, can't be reached by lame compstomping.
I have to agree with you though. To get used to the Ostheer, it's better to play some compstomps.

We have goals/estimates when we will be done, and like it has been said before, we believe we will be done with Ostheer (done enough for release) in Q4 2011 or Q1 2012.

Maxi, when OH will be released, i probably will play skirmishes to learn how them play. Later will try PvsP.

I noticed that to find USA or CW(not RMC) is very hard, most players want play as SU. Similarly will be with axis. Everyone will play as OH, but there is more axis fanboys, so to see WH or PE will be more easy than USA and CW. That's my opinion. And i remember Jan 19, 2010 and how hard was to find axis players ;D.

Whoo, haven't posted since 2008 :P  I've been playing this mod recently and forgot how awesome it is (and how much it's changed!)  I really look forward to seeing Ostheer footage/screenshots!  Also couldn't help but notice a lot of ideas I had suggested for the Ostheer in 2008 either made it in or some doctrine ideas used for the Soviets ;D

Re: Ostheer

And let me tell you this Fish, I've seen some Live Ostheer footage personally, its quite close to completion, however, there are somethings that still need to be animated, some Vet issues to fix, a couple of small features that need to be agreed upon and last but not least thoroughly and quite menacingly beta tested. Yea anyway I've said quite a bit already, most which is stuff I shouldn't really know about (Thanks Ri.... :P)
